| I'd like to ask that the steering committee consider either a profanity
| filter on the mailing lists, or heavier moderation towards those who lack
| the fundamental vocabulary to express themselves without the use of
| profanity.  I notice the folks crying for more professionalism here are the
| ones that have conducted their arguments in the least professional manner.
| Between use of the F* word on this list, and now offenses to the three major
| monotheistic faith systems, I think it needs to be dealt with.

List nazis, indeed.
